Lord Jesus I meant Loretta Lynn! Patsy Cline’s video, “She’s got you” was queued up next, so stay tuned for that 💕

Suffering because of lack of material wealth is difficult… but the suffering from a lack of love is far worse. Loretta and Dolly both make sure we know about the love they were raised with in their autobiographical songs.

As you say, times are different today. I'm reminded of a quote: “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”

Coal Miners Daughter is totally a true story. The movie won an academy award and starred Tommy Lee Jones and Sissy Spacek...well worth watching!! Loretta is the real deal!!🎶🎵💜

Loretta is great! Her sister Crystal Gayle is also a famous country artist...she has the LONGEST hair!! I was amazed when I saw her as a kid. Def should watch the movie or just read up on her history.

The movie is a must. Fun fact about the movie, the actor that played her father is actually Levon Helm, the drummer from The Band, you need to listen to their stuff too.

My mother (born in 1947 and the youngest of 5 children) has told me stories of not having shoes in the summertime. She and her family would pick cotton in order to earn enough to buy a pair of shoes and a few clothes for each child before the start of the fall school year. They lived in a small house on Will's Creek (near Fort Payne, Alabama) that had holes in parts of the roof in return for her father tending someone's livestock. He was, also, paid a meager wage for his back breaking work. Some nights her parents wouldn't eat so that she and her siblings could. As rough as it was, she still says that those years on Will's Creek were some of the best in her life.

Give Loretta's song Don't Come Home A Drinkin'. You'll love it too!

Merle Haggard also grew up poor (his folks were Okies who fled the Dust Bowl for California). He has a couple of great songs in the vein of this one called 'Working Man Blues' and 'Mama's Hungry Eyes'.

This was the childhood of my parents: my father in the mountains of SW Va. got 1 pair of shoes in winter, and Xmas for the kids meant a sock filled with nuts, hard candy & the only orange they got all year. My mother in Baltimore shivered while walking many blocks to & from school, and often her mother could only afford to feed her spaghetti with butter & salt. This is why I love them & honor their memories.

Darlin what she was singin bout was actually how she grew up 😊

Loretta is as country as cornbread. People love her so much because she is just herself and has never tried to pretend to be something that she is not. I forget who the reporter was who was interviewing Loretta years ago but the reporter must have felt that Loretta's country accent meant she was stupid so the reporter felt she was far superior to Loretta and she asked in a condescending tone, "Loretta, do you think you would have gone further in the music industry if not for your accent?" At that time Loretta was about the hottest thing in the industry. She had won many awards, among them, Female Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. She also had the honor of having her record, Coal Miner's Daughter, turned into a movie. I don't know how much further she could have gone because she already had reached the very top. My brother is a huge fan of Loretta's and he heard that she was coming to Kentucky (where she was from and where my brother currently lives) and he determined that while she was that close to him he was going to go see her in concert. He called for a ticket a couple of days after they went on sale and the lady told him that because of the massive number of tickets that had been sold, Loretta was actually doing TWO shows in the same city in Kentucky (I forget where she was appearing) and that ALL the tickets for both shows were sold out and had sold out within a couple of hours of going on sale. This is how hot she was and then that smart aleck reporter insinuated that her southern accent was holding her back. Loretta could have mentioned the awards she had won and her sold-out concerts and the movie that had been made of her life but instead she just smiled at the reporter and said in her deepest, most southern accent, "WHUT AAACENT?"

She's the ultimate success story. You can actually tour her home place in Kentucky

So cool that you reacted to this. My father was her guitarist and band leader for 30 years! Love when people can still respect her craft after all these years!

Classic, just a classic Loretta Lynn song. Never get tired of it. Thanks for reacting to this one Tasha.

This song was her first ever recorded song and her husband who was also her manager then ( she was married at 14 I believe ) took her around to country radio stations all over the south getting them to play the song and give an interview and that is how she got her start and she toured with Patsy Cline who became her friend and mentor. I definitely recommend seeing the movie.

Such a beautiful young lady thank you for this

A beautiful, touching song. Thank you Tasha! 😊🌹🌹🌹

My Dad was a coal miner and we lived pretty close to her. Daddy was crazy over her, and once he was standing at a traffic light in Grundy, Va and her bus stopped. It was one of the biggest thrills of his life.

Story of her life ☮️💜

Her signature song.

Growing up in a "3" bedroom single wide trailer. Quotation mark is due to the fact that 2 of those bedrooms were basically cubicles. Mom, Dad and 5 children. Like Loretta, barefoot in the summer, check last years shoes to see if the younger fit them yet for school, if not, buy the cheapest shoes we could find. Hand me downs, and some clothes that mom sewed herself. Mom would show us how to create and care for a vegetable garden. When my dad was home long enough (over the road truck driver), we went hunting, and between the two of them, they made sure that, in the worst of times, we would have the knowledge to still be able to provide food for the table. We also went hiking, camping, swimming at the lake... Lot's of good memories growing up with very little money.. Dolly Parton said in her song Coat of Many Colors, "one is only poor Only if they choose to be". My family was most definitely not poor..... Thoughts, Prayers, Love

Yeah do "ones on the way" by Loretta. Love her. Fortunate to have seen he live a couple of times.

Loretta Lynn has a sister named Crystal Gayle. Crystal also sang country music and was very good. Crystal sang a very popular song “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.” She did a duet with Eddie Rabbit called “You and I. When you get a chance, you might want to check those two songs out.

My grandparents were sharecroppers. My grandmother told me that they sharecrop pecans and lived in the orchards under a lean-to shed. Truthfully, they lived outdoors and slept in the lean-to shed, because it wasn’t big enough to actually live in. They cooked over an open fire and wash their clothes by hand and had their first baby there. She said it was the happiest time of her life…because of the simplicity and love.

she's a very sweet down to earth classy lady got to meet her in person

My granny grew up the same way in rural Kentucky in the 20s and 30s, her dad worked the coal mines

You would like Loretta's "One's on the Way"

LOVE that you reacted to this song! I Highly recommend the movie that tells the story of her life, aptly titled "COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER"; it's wonderful.

I love Loretta Lynn, you should also check out her sister, Crystal Gayle, both are in the country music hall of fame.

No one understands this life unless you live it. I am proud to be a miners daughter ❤

Take a listen to the song 'your lookin at country" specifically the live version in the red and white dress. Its so good! I love loretta!

Her song The Pill was actually banned on radio since it was about birth control when it first came out.

My mother was born in 1942 in a house up Swisher Holler. The house had no running water or electricity, and it was so cold the night she was born they lit a wood oven, opened the door and put her in a bread pan with some clean towels to keep her warm. Next to Loretty Lynn, my mama was a city slicker.

You can visit the area she grew up in, it’s near Paintsville, Kentucky.

Now you should watch the movie "Coal Miners Daughter" released in 1980 starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones. Sissy Spacek won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and the movie also a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. It's the true story of country music singer Loretta Lynn from her early teen years in a poor family and getting married at 15 (and having 4 kids by the age of 19) to her rise as one of the most influential country musicians.

Ms Loretta is the Queen of Country Music and one of the most respected women around.... check out Don't it Make my Brown eyes Blue by Crystal Gail who is Loretta's little sister

I've just recently started watching your reactions. I've noticed you do a lot of early country and that's very cool! I just want to remind you that the 90's belonged to the country WOMEN! Suzy Boggus, Pam Tillis, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Emmy Lou Harris, The Chicks, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain (of course!) Jo Dee Messina, Leanne Rimes, Lori Morgan, Wynonna, Martina McBride, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Terry Clark, Faith Hill, Kathy Mattea, K.T. Oslin, and many more. This list alone could keep you busy for a good long while. :)

❤❤SHE HAD A HARD LIFE..BABIES CAME EARLY..BUT SHE COULD WRITE AND SING!!!

Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton‘s lives were very similar. These two wonderful women came from nothing and made something for your themselves and their families!!!

Patty Loveless. "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" must do. Its about Harlan County Kentucky. My family is from there

I am glad to see so many discovering the some of the music I grew up with. It would be better if some of comments were correct 1:35 hits me most, it should be " He shoveled coal to make a poor mans dollar". But I still think it is great to see so many appreciating the music of the '50's, 60's, and 70's.

love this song and the movie is awesome too

It's not that long ago I'm 60 and remember growing up with no running water and using an outhouse. A 3 room house and 4 kids. But mom and dad both worked their asses off so we all did good in life.

Classic thank you for your beautiful reaction

Love me some Loretta!

I grew up going to see Loretta Lynn and concerts with my mother back in Macon Georgia. That would have been in the 60s and 70s. Larreta also champion and women’s rights. She’s got a song called the pill. She didn’t take no crap off her husband either lol. She wrote all of her music wrote all of her songs. They were based on her life experiences. Some good ones would be I want to be free. Louisiana woman Mississippi man. She sang a lot with Conway Twitty. Fist city is a good one as well

Thx! This song is a staple of country! Another staple is The Everly brothers! And Chet Atkins! And Skeeter Davis! -Terry

My grandparents lived in a coal camp where part of the movie was filmed. Had a neighbor that was a coal miner in the background of the movie too. Tommy Lee Jones spent a night in our local jail for being drunk in public

yo7u just gave the definition of country music. Song writer Harland Howard once said that country music is 3 chords and the truth.

Your Country Music Journey is not complete without watching Ken Burns PBS Documentary, "Country Music" a series that will make you that much more appreciative.

Y'all should watch the movie "Coal Miners Daughter" starring Sissy Spacek playing Loretta and Tommy Lee Jones. Awesome movie!!

Definitely watch the movie! It’s actually really good!!

I saw her some years back when she was 83 years old.. she was great

Check out the movie sis...it gives the real life depection of her story. She didnt have an easy life back in those days. Culture was different , for women, but also way out in the country. Love your reactions. As far as country....she and Dolly Parton are the OG's :)

Beautiful reaction

Tasha, the movie is amazing!

Loretta Lynn has song called van Lear rose. It's a sorta prequel to this song

Got this one on cassette too. I hope we can teach kids to appreciate good music

Make your dollar and respect every one you can get. If you make a million of them, or a thousand of them, they all have the same value.

Love her so much! The movie is one of my favorites!

Awesome....

or after the war, for US and Germans normal workers was ist a tough time, we was eating Beech tree nuts, went after harvesting over the farmers field, went in the woods for berry's and mushrooms, that we have something to eat.

I love your reviews. Keep 'em coming Goddess Tasha!

🌴👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Well put 🇬🇺👏🏽👏🏽🌴

I've been to Loretta Lynn's ranch back in 1998 and across from her house there's a creek with a bridge you walk across and she has built a replica of Butcher Holler and the small community she grew up in and the house where they lived it was a real eye opener so please watch the movie Coal Miners Daughter

Alan Jackson - I Don't Even Know Your Name

True story.

Needs: Food, water, shelter, warmth, love. Wants: Everything else.

You Need to Hear Conway Twitty And Loretta Lynn they have Chemistry like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton

There's a good song By Loretta and Willie from a few years ago called "I'll be at peace when they lay me down" it's awesome‼️

I can't believe Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gale grew up in the same nowhere shack. There could be famous people in your shack too, if you just find a way to harness their/your talents. Nobody cared about coal miners, or their daughters, until they heard this beautiful song.

Check out Crystal Gayle. She's Loretta's younger sister. Ready for the times to get better, wrong road again, or don't it make my brown eyes blue are all great.

I’m new to the channel, awesome work! I love the old school country , but I grew listening to 90s country . If you can do reactions to those artist. Garth brooks , Steve warnier , Clint black , Tracy lawerence. Thank you and I’ll keep watching

The movie is really good

React to Loretta Lynn WHEN THE TINGLE BECOMES A CHILL, DON'T COME HOME A DRINKIN, AFTER THE FIRE IS GONE (with Conway Twitty). Also react to Loretta Lynn's sister, Crystal Gayle.

Oops. Misspelled Kline should have been with a "C". Cline.

Dolly Parton has a movies too of her life

Rosanne Cash - Seven Year Ache. The live video version is too short and doesn't contain the whole song. She's Johnny Cash's daughter.

I love Loretta Lynn! I don't think I've seen you mention Shania Twain yet though. There's another deep rabbit hole to plunge into! "From this moment", "Man, I feel like a woman!", "Any man of mine", "Still the one"

I believe it is a true story of Loretta Lynn. A great song. Another song around that time is. I Beg Your Pardon or find it under Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson.

true many families didn't let kids wear shoes during summer the older ones passed down their shoes and clothes to the younger ones til the old ones weren't able to be be used

You should check out Crystal Gayle (Loretta Lynn's little sister)

❤️

Loretta Lynn is afriend of Patsy Cline. They used to tour together. Suggested next Loretta song: You Ain't Woman Enough. Do listen to younger sister Crystal Gayle. Suggested Crystal Gayle song: Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.

Great reaction! I love you work beautiful young lady! May I request that you react to Patsy Cline Sweet Dreams? Thanks!

If you like songs that make you smile and have tears in your eyes at the same time please listen to the Oak Ridge Boys sing Thank God for kids. I think it's one of their best. 💖💖💖

She is singing about her real life.

Loretta Lynn and Patsy Clone has movies made about their lives.

Really love you're videos. Love the country and delve more into it along with Ted Nugent.

Love to see your reaction to C.W.McCall's "Roses for Mama".

In a lot of ways, this was Loretta’s answer to Coat of Many Colours.

You said Loretta was the truth of country music…have you listened/reacted to The Pill? If not, you really should. I grew up on Loretta Lynn, she was my mom’s favorite when I was a kid. Going into teenage and adult years, I mostly stopped listening to country. Lately I’ve been been getting into the older country, again, that I grew up on…Loretta, Dolly, Barbara Mandrel, Hank Williams Jr., Willy Nelson, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Alabama, Statler Brothers, etc. Its a trip, listening with “new ears”, realizing how groundbreaking they were, especially Loretta.

If you love Lo, then y'all need to react to THE PILL

I remember seeing this Movie when I was a kid with my mom. I believe she is related to Crystal Gayle ( sister), and she was best friends with Patsy Cline.

Love you're videos and you're trip through country music. I also love the rock part too particularly the classic stuff. More Ted Nugent

Her true life story

🤘🏻😎😁

Your should check out Conway Twitty - Hello Darlin

We're still poor in the Appalachians.
